DOJ indicts 10 lawful permanent residents for illegal voting in Minnesota
Attorney General Todd Blanche announced that a federal grand jury indicted ten lawful permanent residents for falsely claiming U.S. citizenship to register and, in some cases, for voting illegally in multiple Minnesota elections, including the August 2026 primary; one defendant was charged only for a 2024 false citizenship claim. The defendants come from Liberia, Canada, South Africa, Brazil, Bosnia, Germany, Ghana, and Lithuania. The article notes felony penalties of up to five years and $250,000 for false citizenship claims and misdemeanor penalties of up to one year and $100,000 for noncitizen voting. Blanche said DOJ has charged more than 90 people since President Donald Trump returned to office, while DHS reported convictions and over 1,600 active investigations, and DOJ filed a judicial misconduct complaint against several judges who spoke to The New York Times.
